"Refresh" sheet issue

neelesh

Need help..

The sheet that i am working upon gets updated by the Form.

I updated one cell entry manually and saved the sheet.

Though when i refresh the sheet - the entry of the cell i manually entered changed to his previous value.

Any specific reason - why refresh is changing the cell values?

Are you able to right click on the cell and View History. Are all the changes actually being recorded?

We have the same issue when more than one user is updating a sheet. We do see improvement when we use the refresh link (top of sheet to the right of sheet name) and then select save... this seems to save the current users data plus the changes that were made by someone else are not wiped out.

Hello—

It's possible that someone else is making changes and saving from an older version of the sheet.

It's important for everyone working on a sheet to refresh before they make changes to make sure they're not overriding your changes.

Check the cell history of the sheet to see who might be doing this. More info on cell history is available in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/518314-viewing-cell-history

I think this issue can be explained by this thread: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/report-not-updating-0 There is currently some issues with Reporting in Smartsheets.

Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful. What is the protocol for restoring this information? I've only done this before with the help of a representative and it was…
Why are my answers not showing up when a document is generated?
I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF.
